Prices, Duties and Taxes Prices specified in the Approval of Order are net, excluding packaging, rigging, freight, shipping, delivery, duties, fees, levies, insurance and applicable federal, state and local taxes. Prices are based, inter alia, on production costs for supplies, labor, deliveries, duties and services current on the order date. In the event of material increase in any such costs, Seller reserves the right to either adjust the prices for Goods accordingly, or to cancel any certain part of the sales relating to undelivered Goods. Duties, taxes, fees, levies and other compulsory payments applicable to the sale of Goods any time, as well as freight, express, insurance and delivery charges, shall all be borne and paid in full by Buyer, unless otherwise expressly stipulated by seller.
Delivery Delivery dates noted on the Approval of Order are subject to reasonable adjustment. The acceptance of shipment by a common carrier or by any licensed public truckman shall constitute proper delivery. Risk associated with the Goods shall pass to Buyer on delivery or with the passing of title in the Goods, whichever occurs first; provided however, that where delivery is delayed due to circumstances caused by or within the responsibility of Buyer, risk of loss shall pass to Buyer upon seller's notification that Goods are ready for dispatch. Unless otherwise specified in writing by seller, all charges, expenses or taxes associated with the delivery shall be paid by the Buyer.
Retention of Title Title shall pass to Buyer only upon full payment by Buyer for the Goods and following payment of any other outstanding debt by Buyer to Seller. Buyer shall, at Seller's request, take any measures necessary under applicable law to protect Seller's title in the Goods, and lawfully notify Buyer’s present or potential creditors of Seller's title on and interest in the Goods. Buyer acknowledges that so long as title has not been transferred in the Goods, it holds the Goods as bailee and fiduciary agent for the Seller and shall safely and securely store and keep the Goods separate and in good condition, clearly showing the Seller’s ownership of the Goods and shall respectively record the Seller’s ownership of the Goods in its books. Notwithstanding the above, Buyer may use Goods for its own use, or sell goods, as fiduciary agent for the Seller, to a third party in the normal course of business by bona fide sale at market value, whereby proceeds of such storage, usage or sale of Goods, as the case may be, shall, to the extent of the amount being owed by Buyer to Seller at the time of receipt of such proceeds, be held by Buyer on trust for Seller and specifically ascertained, until payment in full for all payable debts by Buyer to Seller.

Independent Delivery Each delivery of Goods shall (without prejudice to Seller's rights under clause 8 hereinabove) be considered a separate contract and the failure of any delivery shall not vitiate any contract as to deliveries of other Goods and payment therefor.

Should any deliveries under this Contract be suspended under this clause for more than 90 days – either party may withdraw from this Contract and be relieved from any liability; provided however, that Buyer shall nevertheless accept delivery and pay for such Goods once the Seller is able to deliver in accordance with the period(s) of shipment named in this Contract. Seller shall not be liable for, and be relieved from, any loss or damages of any kind resulting from the causes mentioned hereinabove.

Entire Agreement This Contract merges the entire terms and conditions for sale of the Goods. In the event of any conflict between the terms herein and any provisions included in the Approval of Order, the latter shall govern and prevail. Subject to the foregoing, nothing specified in, or referred to by, any other document, record or instrument whatsoever, which relates to and/or which otherwise subsists in connection with the sale of Goods herein, whether expressly or impliedly, including any written order, request or other standard or specific terms of any entity, shall or may be interpreted to attribute to Seller and/or to Seller's affiliates or representatives (i) any liability, obligation, commitment and/or undertaking, and/or (ii) any waiver in connection with or of any right, whether contractual, proprietary, in-person and/or equitable, including but not limited to, any and all intellectual property rights in connection with the Goods, which are and shall always remain in the Seller's exclusive and complete ownership under all circumstances whatsoever, notwithstanding any sale of Goods hereunder and whether the Goods shall be standard Goods or manufactured to a specific order.
The Buyer shall refrain at all times and for whatever purpose from infringing, contesting, disputing or questioning such rights, patents, trademarks, titles or interests, nor shall it aid or allow others to do so, regardless of whether directly or indirectly. No modification or waiver of any provision hereof shall become valid and effective except upon a written instrument duly signed beforehand by Seller. No waiver by either party of any default of the other party shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent or other default.
Law and Arbitration This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Seller's incorporation. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Contract shall be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the Rules of Conciliation and Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce ("ICC"), as shall be in effect from time to time. The arbitration shall be held at such location in the state of Seller's incorporation as shall be determined by Seller, in its sole discretion. The arbitrator shall be mutually appointed by Seller and Buyer within 21 (twenty-one) days following a written demand for arbitration by either of the parties. Failing to reach an agreement regarding the nomination of an arbitrator, the head of the relevant ICC national committee located in the Seller's country of incorporation shall appoint an arbitrator at the request of any of the parties, a copy of which request for the appointment of an arbitrator shall be provided by the requesting party to the other party. Awards may be enforced in accordance with the 1958 New York Convention and judgment may be entered upon any award in any court having jurisdiction over the parties and/or their assets. The arbitrator's fees shall be paid by both parties in equal parts unless otherwise determined by the arbitrator. This provision shall survive any termination of any of the terms and conditions herein and shall be deemed to constitute an independent arbitration agreement between Buyer and Seller for all purposes and intents.
